Several local people sentenced for providing ID to illegal aliens

ST. LOUIS (KSDK) - Several local people have been sentenced for providing illegal aliens with Missouri driver's licenses.

Yvette Roberson, 59, was sentenced Friday to 42 months in prison for one count of conspiracy to defraud, one count of producing false identification documents, and two counts of aggravated identity theft.

Court documents state between March 2010 and December 2011 Roberson, as an employee of the DMV, provided Missouri driver's licenses and non-drivers identification to individuals who presented her with names, social security numbers, and dates of birth given to them by Roberson's associates, Ricardo Ortiz and Jorge Fabian Pesqueda Perez.

In one case Roberson advised the person to find a new identity because the one presented had too many criminal warrants attached to it.

Ortiz, 31, was sentenced in November to 45 months in prison.

Perez, 35, was sentenced to 16 months in prison.

Rafael Guerrero, 42, and Magdalena Lopez, 42, pleaded guilty to possession of false identification documents and were sentenced to one year in prison.

Elizabeth Cervantes, 27, pleaded guilty to related charges and will be sentenced in January 2013.
